Curieus Effect of Arctic Cold.

A person who has never been in the pol
regions can probably have no idea of what
cold really is; but by reading the terrible ex-
perienccs of arctic travellers in that icy region
some notion can be formed of the extreme
cold that prevails there. When we have the
temperature down 10 zero QUITO doors we
think 1t bitterly cold, and il our houses were
not ms warm as, at least, 6Jo above zero, we
should begin to talk of freezing to death.
Think, then, OF living where the thermometer
goes down to 35 ; below zero In the house in
spite Of the stove. or course, In such a case
the fur garments are piled on until a man
looks like great bundle of skins. DIR. Moss,

1870, among other odd things tells OF the
effect OF cold on a wax candle which be burn.

THE AMBITIOUS MAIDEN.

"The man marry" said the maid,
Must be a man Of mien auStere,
To whom respect is ALWAYS paid,
And who is held in fear:
A man who yields authority,
Whom even children hold in dread,
And men salute as they pass by
vow no other man I'll we'd"
Perhaps it was duke or lord
whom she LIeant to give her hand,
Or warrior bold, with flashing sword,
With armies under his command.
III So, no noble came to WOO
Or warrior bold his suit to press.
But TO her vow the mad was true,
And lived in single blessdness
The years went by, and she began
To think she ne'cr would married be
Cor she would wed no common man
As We have mentioned previously;
Bat all things come to those who waltz
CIhiS maxim is as true as trite);
AT last the maiden found her fate
In one who met her notion quite.
A,man OF countenance severe,
By nature fitted to command,
Whom everybody holds in fear
To him the maiden gave her hand.
The weak, the strong, he lords it DER,
The children tremb!e at his frown-
She's married 10 the janitOr
or an apartment hosSc up town

THE EYESOLOGIST.
Something About the Crank Who Threat
ems to Succeed the "PaImist."

Something About the Crank Who Threat
ems to Succeed the "Palmist."
The "Eyesologist" is the newest fad
of man, and succeeds the 'palmist."
He tells the character from the color
of the eyes. The theory is that brown
eyes, which are plentiful, seldom mir
ror the heart feelings, but are fine to
look at! Gray eyes are the most COM
mon. There are hundred different
kinds of gray eyes. People have not
become advanced enough to hayemore
than four or five colors to apply to
eyes, so any that are not blue, or black,
or brown, or hazel are called gray.
You seldom see a real stupid person
with gray eyes, but the genuine gray
is always found among highly intelli-
gent people. Steel-gray eyes with
large pupils denote intense feeling
blue-gray eyes are generally among
people with kindly hearts. You never
find real mean spirit behind a pair OF
biue-gray eyes. Blue eyes denote
quickness of thought, and generally
fine physical development where they
are large and bright. Very few
blue-eyed people are color-blind or
near-sighted. Hazel eyes denote mus
ical ability and grace Of person. They
are very pretty eyes, too; and then
there are real green eyes. They are
not as scarce as is generally supposed.
The ideal eye is, however, a perfect
violet or a velvet brown, as soft and
gentle as a does. Violet eyes are very
rare. They denote genueness, intelil
! gence, devotion and boundless faith,
Brown eyes are plentiful, and physic'
ally, perhaps, the most beautiful eyes
in the world. They denote intense
feeling and loveableness.-M I. Her
